Head Above The Waves Poem by Elizabeth Tyease Collins

My heart was carried by the sea.
Carried swiftly through the waves that drowndith
thee,
steady heartbeat seeping down,
trying to rescue the passion that reaps a bad sound.

Dying to reach out to something I can't see,
while still trying to keep my head above the waves.
The waves toss and turn and my heart grows fonder
the heartbeat starting to slow down and me hurting as
a simple reminder.

I needed the love to keep me afloat
but instead my heart drowned of false hope,
crying and deciding in these sea of lies
a promise that though my heart drowned
my body would stay alive.

I would never put myself in a position to give up
though without the heart that bounded me left me
to self destruct.
My head above the waves I am saved by You're strength
to lead me to land and of a better place.
